It is a warm, rounded amber: a brief orange-and-labdanum top quickly gives way to a benzoin-and-lavender heart and a base of amber, vanilla, tonka and musk. The effect is soft, sweet and enveloping, like a polished amber-vanilla blanket.

They share Francis Kurkdjian's amber signature but pull apart in character: Grand Soir is the clean, cuddly, vanilla-sweet one, while Absolue Pour le Soir is far skankier and more animalic. Grand Soir is the crowd-friendly amber; APLS is the challenging one.

People hunt for one often, and the closest suggestions tend to miss its bright labdanum opening even when the sweet amber base lands. Warm-amber scents like Eternal Oud scratch a similar itch at a lower price, though none is an exact match.
